River City Ransom: Underground is finally on Steam! In honor of the game’s release, here’s a few new things for the site:

– Kunio-kun: new separate gallery
– River City Ransom: new separate gallery with new sprites of old-school Alex and Ryan and an improved sprite for RCR:U’s Bruno
Both new galleries also include the River City Ransom NES-style edits done for the River City Ransom shop maker in the old Fake Screen generator.

One project taking up my time now is something I don’t think I can mention yet, but I’ll plug the bejeebus out of it once I can. It’s for something happening a few months from now, but deadlines like that can sneak up on you if you’re not careful, said the guy who can’t believe it’s almost March already.

Another thing I started working on is a new gallery system for the site. It’s so early that it’s not even in the galleries yet, but it’s already the framework for the new routine choosing the pics these headers. I also redid nearly all of the “corner box” images for them, and you’ll definitely spot some new ones shuffled into the mix.

Some of the sprites in this update are characters that I’ve wanted to sprite for years, but didn’t feel I was ready to do them justice until now. Each sprite was a sacrifice, they took hard work, they’re a way of liiiiiiiiiiiiife!

All newness has been added to the GFX Generators, and so has a remake of the area outside the Dojo from Double Dragon III (NES). I also made adjustments to the engine that finally let me fix the X-Men Vs. screen name alignment for the second player.

Don’t worry, there will be more Double Dragon stuff hitting the site later this year, because you know I’ve got to celebrate the 30th anniversary year.

If you follow me on Twitter or Tumblr, you might have seen me post about opening up some sprite commission slots last week. All four commission slots were taken before I could post in other places and it went so well (and I have so few work hours at the day job right now) that I’ve opened four commission slots again! Please see the details on the Illmosis site’s commissions page if you’re interested!

edit: removed the Twitch video as it was causing the page to act funky. Will replace A.S.A.P.
